I'd be pretty happy with 2,105 from Gausman, Bundy, and Harvey. :)

With teams like the O's who are not usually able to retain good pitchers for more than seven years, I think a strong case could be made to get as much as they can from these guys while they've got them. The Orioles will never have a pitcher who throws more than 1,200 innings for them. Of course, the agents would scream bloody murder.

Bundy just being healthy is great news.

Agreed.

Mow em down!

Actually, I'm not even concerned about that, and I'm certainly not expecting that.

I'll be happy if he just loosens his arm up, gets his feet wet, and pitches a few games in the AFL without getting hurt.

Then, the name of the game in 2016 (in my rat's ass of an opinion) is to continue to remain healthy while pitching at the higher levels of the minors (at either Advanced-A Frederick, AA-Bowie, or AAA-Norfolk), even if he doesn't pitch well.

Then in 2017, I would like to see him pitch well at the highest level of the minors (Advanced-A Frederick, AA-Bowie, or AAA-Norfolk.)

Then perhaps in late 2017 or in early 2018, Bundy will be ready to contribute to the Orioles as (at least) an effective starting pitcher, if not a very good starting pitcher.

But that's just the view of an extremely patient Orioles fan like myself ...... as far as I'm concerned, his signing bonus money is already spent, so there is no reason for the Orioles not to keep him around and continue being extremely patient with him. They (the Orioles) have everything to gain and nothing to lose in taking this far-sighted approach.

You're right that ideally he wouldn't initially be thrust into the majors. Unfortunately his contract is such that he can't be optioned this year without exposing him to waivers. So it's either the bigs or the DL.

Oh, I did not know that.

Thanks.

For those following, today should by Bundy's first AFL action, followed by Friday and next Monday if all goes well. 12:35pm MST. Per Roch:

* Dylan Bundy is scheduled to start Monday for the Peoria Javelinas in the Arizona Fall League. He also will take the mound on Friday and again the following Monday, assuming that his right shoulder responds favorably to the workload.

      Westburg shouldn’t be, where are you seeing that?

      So since Westburg is apparently still ROY eligible, Cowser and Westburg may project to be the best rookie combination since Fred Lynn and Jim Rice in 1975?

      John Means 2024

      By Safelykept · Posted

      There were several and I was one them. I'm  on record as saying I was one of his biggest Apologists . You should feel good about yourself as you were able to see that Means would be imploding before our very eyes( which was an opinion or a guess, which is what I did) as far as feeling bad for me? Dont I'm plenty good enough to know I wont be able to guess right every time

      Orioles acquire Ryan O’Hearn

      Fantastic pickup by Elias and big kudos to O’Hearn for taking advantage of the resources to improve. He’s a great story.

      John Means 2024

      By Ohfan67 · Posted

      Given his injury history and what’s happening right now, Means may make more money as an Oriole next year than as a free agent. He may have to settle for league minimum as a FA but would do better than that in arbitration. Heck, unless he’s effective at least a little this year then the orioles might release him after the season to avoid paying more than league minimum. I hope Means recovers, very much so, but this scenario is possible imo.    ps. I guess I ignored the part where you said if Means thinks he is healthy.

      Jackson Holliday 2024

      By Billy F-Face3 · Posted

      What I'd like to see in the next game Holliday plays, is for him to keep his eyes following through on the ball when he swings. In the last game I saw, he was yanking his head off the zone when he swung and couldn't see the bat to the ball. He was missing wildly and it wasn't even competitive. So, keep your eye on the ball! Follow all the way through! If your swing is so violent that it's yanking your head off the sight of the ball, then adjust your mechanics because you can't hit what you can't see!

      What a great example of pedantic! Please tell us you meant to do that. I honestly can’t tell these days.
